ACC gathering data, info about corruption in fertiliser sector

---

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is collecting data and information about corruption in fertiliser sector and irregularities in appointment of dealers.
"There is a process in place to collect data and information. We'll fix a way forward after receiving the data and information from our divisional and coordinated district offices," ACC director general (admin) Col Hanif Iqbal told a regular briefing Thursday while replying to a query regarding corruption and irregularities in the fertiliser sector.
His comments came when he was reminded of the remarks made by ACC chairman Lt Gen (retd) Hasan Mashhud Chowdhury two months ago that the Commission would look into alleged corruption regarding fertiliser and irregularities in appointment of dealers.
Replying to a question, Hanif, also the Commission's spokesperson, said as part of ACC's efforts to deal with organisational corruption, the task of inquiry by a four-member special team has already begun into corruption and irregularities in Roads and Highways Department (RHD) under the Communications Ministry.
He said a room has already been allocated in the Sarak Bhaban for the use of the special team apart from appointing an important person for liaison. "Necessary files and documents are being summoned and where necessary employees are questioned and information are gathered."
Hanif expressed the hope that they would have an idea within a month about the real progress of the inquiry.
About inquiry into corruption of the Bangladeshi Embassy in Abu Dhabi, the ACC spokesperson said after the submission of the primary inquiry report a deputy director has been appointed as inquiry officer who has already begun his works.
